[final speech from “the great dictator” by charlie chaplin]

greed has poisoned men’s souls
has barricaded the world with hate
has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
we have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in
machinery that gives abundance has left us in want
our knowledge has made us cynical
our cleverness, hard and unkind
we think too much and feel too little
more than machinery we need humanity
more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness
without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…

soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes –
men who despise you – enslave you –
who regiment your lives – tell you what to do –
what to think and what to feel!
who drill you – diet you – treat you like cattle
use you as cannon fodder
don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men –
machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
you are not machines! you are not cattle! you are men!

in the 17th chapter of st luke it is written:
“the kingdom of god is within man” –
not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!
in you! you, the people have the power –
the power to create machines
the power to create happiness!
you, the people, have the power
to make this life free and beautiful
to make this life a wonderful adventure. (2x)

then – in the name of democracy –
let us use that power – let us all unite
